To bring a book instead of a card:

If you plan to bring a card, please take another look;
I would like to learn my ABC’s from your favorite storybook!

Instead of a card for the baby and mother,
Please bring a child’s book with your thoughts in the cover.

As ____’s due date is coming near,
We’re inviting friends and families dear,
To choose a favorite story or fairy tale,
That you would like the baby to hear.
Instead of a card, please let _____ take a look,
at your special choice of a book!
And then to the baby she will read,
With all the love he or she needs!

With a personal touch,
Please choose a book.
And then your name please do put,
It need not cost more than a card,
Just pick a favorite; it shouldn’t be hard!

To bring a diapers for a raffle:

If you bring a pack of diapers to help with the twins,
you’ll be entered into a raffle, which someone always wins!

We will be having a diaper raffle! The prize will be great and it’s lots of fun!
If you’d like to enter, please bring a bag of diapers size newborn or one!

A bag of diapers or wipes for me would really help my parents-to-be.
So please bring a package, any size. Did I mention it could win you a really great prize?

To request a specific gift or other item:

Baby wipes, teething rings, diapers galore,
Onesies, bibs, books, blankets, and more.
If each guest would bring just one of these,
Our new mommy will surely be pleased.

To add a little extra glee,
And help the parents-to-be,
Please bring a little extra from the heart,
An unwrapped pack of diapers to give them a good start!

To request that gifts are not wrapped:

One little request that we hope you would grant,
Whether you’re a friend, mother, or aunt
We can’t wait to see you at the shower!
But please don’t wrap gifts in more than a ribbon or flower.

To end the invitation on a friendly note:

Good times and laughter is what we will share.
_____ will be thrilled to see you there!

Let’s gather ‘round and celebrate,
With good family and friends – it’ll be great!

It’ll be such fun to celebrate,
So please don’t forget this special date!

Good times and food is what we’ll all share.
_____ will be so excited to see you all there!
